DESCRIPTION
The hydraulic dampers
are
double acting. resistance
being offered to
the
compression
and
to the recoil of
"the road springs. They
are
of either GJrling or
Armstrong manufacture.
MAINTENANCE
The maintenance of
the
hydraulic dampers. when in
position on
the
vehicle. is confined
to
pertcdtcal
replenishment and examination of
the
anchorage to
the
chassis.
the
fixing bolts being tlghtened as requi red.
The
renewal of
the
bearings requires
the
removal of
the
hydraulic dampers from
the
chassis. but replenish-
ment can be carried
out
with the dampers
either
in
position on
the
chassis
or
removed. No adjustment
of
the
hydraulic dampers is required
or
provided.
They are accurately
set
before
leaVing
the
Works
to
give
the
amount of damping most
SUitable
for the car.
Any
attempt
to
dismantle
the
piston
assembly
by
removing
the
caps
will
seriously
affect
the
operation
and
performance.
